The Dolphins appear to be all-in on Ryan Tannehill as the team’s starting quarterback despite coming off his second season-ending knee injury. But the Dolphins need a contingency plan in case Tannehill suffers a setback or struggles. Coach Adam Gase and GM Chris Grier both said they would like to select a QB in the early rounds that the team can develop. The recent signing of Brock Osweiler won’t stop the Dolphins from using an early pick on a quarterback.

The Dolphins plan to make Kenyan Drake, who led the NFL in rushing in the final five games of the 2017 season, a featured weapon. Drake is a well-rounded back, but there are some concerns about his durability. The Dolphins added former Miami Hurricanes standout Frank Gore to complement Drake, allowing him to end his possible Hall of Fame career in his hometown. But Miami needs to find a young back to groom for the future, potentially targeting one in the second or third day of the draft.
